The Economic Impacts of the Baby Boomer Generation

Conclusion

The Baby Boomer generation has a negative impact on today's economy because...

  • they increased population, which is associated with migration change
  • they have placed a financial burden on today's population
  • their generation is too large for the current healthcare system to support (eg. funding and jobs)
  • they have created a negative shift in the housing market
  • they have made it difficult for young people to get a job without a post secondary education

Economic Geography

Introduction

  • Today's workers pick up the tab for today's elderly and disabled recipients
  • System was not designed to deal with the large population
  • The Canadian workforce can expect a 50-per-cent increase in the number of 55- to 64-year-olds in the next 10 years, and relatively fewer young workers entering, the labour pool

  • Background
  • Baby boomers: 1946-1965
  • Why does this matter?
  • Effects on the population of today
  • Preparation for future generations
  • Multiple disciplines of geography
  • Thesis: Collectively, the ways in which the baby boomers have made impacts in these sections will have a negative impact on the economy of today's generation.

Social Geography

  • Education was an important social construct for baby boomers
  • Due to the sheer population increase, competition for jobs became intense and post-secondary graduates worked jobs in which they were overqualified
  • Career plateauing happened more frequently in these cases because the amount of qualified employees was greater than the positions available in the higher positions.
  • Today’s economy now stressed with the amount of workers in the labour force; not enough positions for the younger generation to fill.
  • Further, a greater expectation is placed on the current generation to get educational qualifications to be successful in the workforce – but imminently face the same over qualification after graduation.

Health Geography

  • An unknown amount of seniors aged 75+ will be introduced into the population (1930s and 1940s)
  • Need more funding in terms of healthcare
  • Need more resources and professionals (ie. home care)
  • $61 billion in 2006, projected $81 billion in 2041

Population Geography

"The Health of Tomorrow's Older Canadians."

  • Difference in the baby boom curve affect migration with young adults
  • Migration change happens in direct association with population change
  • Pressure in the core happened because of influx of baby boom groups into the labour force
  • Industrial reestablishment: a shift from mass production to business sector
  • Relation to Human Geography: base of population is mobility and geographic distribution and spatial distribution

Urban Geography

  • Housing-market shift
